He "stands out" pretty well to Fax fans. Incidentally, you didn't list which Leigh players are boxers and which are martial artists.

Now now
Charlie you underate Robbo, he is a tackling machine and for his bulk is alamingly fast.
All three will be missed from such a small squad, after all we don't have the luxury of the RFL taking a blind eye to salary caps and other more serious misdemeanours (allegedly)
As for Hock, no sour grapes but he is a disgrace to the game.
I bet if he still played for Wigan many of you lobby goblers would think the same.j
I wonder what LISA thinks of him given her view on Wigan.


Ps Mods excuse me, Charlie I won't be at Warrington or the Broncos game, miss four Fax matches (the most I have ever missed in a season) Aquitaine calling.
Bentleyman probably thinks I should hang my head in shame.

Hey there's no fooling you Fax Machine,what I meant was Robinson was a Workhorse and NOT one of your stand out players ,we at Leigh have Brierley, Riddy, Kay,McNally, Armstrong as our Strike players ,and Dixon,Goulden,Haggerty,Moi Moi,and Wilkes as our workhorses,though I suppose Hock could be called a Strike player. .

Charlie, Adam would get in ANY team in this division. His only problem has been that he has had awful luck with injuries. Also when listing the mighty Leighs iillumnaries, don't forget the saying....Pride comes before the fall.Think on! Birchencliffe, Kirkstall Dissolution IPA 6.0 % Mmm!

John I'm not underestimating anyone, every team has and needs it's workhorses as I've listed ours at Leigh ,they are not the headline grabbers but the work they put in is so valuable,I really rate Andrew Dixon yet I'm sure a few Fax fans would say Andrew who?It's the same for Leythers with Robinson,I've said before how high I rate Ambler,and stand by opinion of him being the only Fax player who would get into the current Leigh team.
As for Hock?I think you are being very harsh on the lad,he will become a valued member of the Leigh team ,believe me John,last week Gaz was a bit headstrong I agree but he will come good.

Pete there's nowt wrong with your opinion, but that's what it is YOUR opinion and you are entitled to it, looking at our Squad if Robinson became available tomorrow I couldn't see Rowls being interested in signing him,thinking about it who would Ambler displace in the Leigh pack?
Fui,Wilkes,Emmitt,Hock,Acton,even Hopkins ,Goulden,Haggerty,or Dixon?It again is ONLY my opinion.

Aye, Charlie you're right, it is all about opinions. The thing is that mine are right and yours are wrong. Anyroad just setting off to treat lass to breakfast in Penrith, have a lakeland stroll, a pint in Cockermouth and a Fax win in Workington. Up The Fax!

To be fair Leighs weakest part of their team is their props and second rowers as we have seen first hand in the games against them and the numerous times I have seen them other than that. If they do not get promoted it will be because of their forwards as IMO Leighs backs are probably as good as most mid table SL teams backs but I do not even think they are the best pack in the championship. On that note Ambler, Calahnae(best prop in the league), Divorty, and Manning would all walk in to the Leigh team and get plenty of game time IMO.

Re: Ambler, Maneely & Robinson : Sun May 31, 2015 4:59 pm  

Robinson is not a flashy player nor one that will standout. But its the little things he does well and makes him an important member of the Fax team. Its rare that he gets tackled by one player and he is a player that puts in 100% and tires the opponents out both in attack and defence. I dont really care if he could get in at Leigh. I am just glad he is at Fax and is an inspiration for those that play for Fax. I would rather have Robbo over somebody like Hock or Barlow, who maybe more talented, but are not as consistant as Robbo, nor have his 100% attitude in my opinion.
